“…Johan Bernoulli in 1696 proposed the problem of the shortest time path connecting two points at different altitudes A and B [4]. This was something Galileo Galilei had already investigated, showing, experimentally, that a straight path is slower than an arc of circumference, but there was no proof that, in this latter, time was minimum [5].…”

The development of the finite element method is traced, from its deepest roots, reaching back to the birth of calculus of variations in the 17th century, to its earliest steps, in parallel with the advent of computers, up to its applications in electromagnetics and its flourishing as one of the most versatile numerical methods in the field. A survey on papers published on finite elements, and on ACES Journal in particular, is also included.
